Biomanufacturing for Chemical Engineers

Share This Post:

This online course presents the fundamentals of biomanufacturing. It focuses on the unit operations utilized to manufacture biological drug products. After an overview of product types, processes, and current Good Manufacturing Practice you’ll address the maintenance of cell lines and growth of cells in a bioreactor. Topics such as mass transfer, process control, and product expression are emphasized. In the second half of the course, lectures focus on downstream unit operations that harvest cells, remove byproducts or contaminants, and fill the final bulk product.

This course was developed in conjunction with the Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC) at NC State and SBE.
